Greitspitz to Samnaun Map

From Greitspitz (2867 m) head down underneath the Greitzpitzbahn, coming to a busy bottleneck just past the cable car entrance, where you will need to take special care and reduce your speed. From then on the valley widens and continues on as a very smooth ride all the way to Samnaun.
